I know this has been explained already 1000 times and it is essential to understand Factom but could somebody explain again why Factoids are needed if a company can buy directly Entry Credits to use the Factom Blockchain?

Thx in advance Smiley
You need an incentive for node operators.

Because the factoids is a own blockchain and will need after milestone 3 own miner?

Servers not miners

Definitely this. It s been so long waiting for this next milestone, lots of doubts in the company, lots of other companies starting to develop other interesting stuff. They really need to deliver, it s about time.

Ohh please factom team just deliver m2 without testing it pleaseee just so these guys can sell @ profit

Give me a break just shtup wait if u can or just sell now and move on

I only said it cause i would love a normal wallet and factom is not going to make it, im not selling before i think its maxed out.

Bitcoin is about to enter a month long downtrend back to mid to high 600s Smiley
Probably starting today or tomorrow.

So that would be a nice window for the Factom accumulator to make his move.
Something like what happened with the XMR 10x rise would be nice.
Maybe they are even the same group. Ya never know!

Fall seven times, stand up eight.
Still waiting for news from Brian or anyone else from Factom team. I refuse to believe they do not appreciate our invested money to the point they simply do not care. So, keep your faith and stay positive. The moment will come.

don't worry. Brian (or was it Paul ?) said he last bought FCT the day just before the (Tim Draper news) press release, and FCT was up 30% so i guess we will see more of the same before M2 news...

Possibly true, But we are in an accumulation phase now.
The so-called "corner" seems closer.  Wink

With BTC exploding higher again to new highs for the year, we can expect another very volatile (illiquid) weekend with stop-hunting activity where we could see a further spike in BTC and stop losses in anything not BTC , including FCT.
I think keeping margin longs (as opposed to cash longs) is a very bad idea as one can be forced out easily. It is an ideal setup to make the market trade at distressed prices like last weekend. The low from last weekend is 0.00227.

How low we would go depends more on liquidity than anything else. Charts are oversold. Some other alts have seen sporadic buys and well off their bottom (example LSK, AMP)... I think its momentum traders selling short anything not BTC on Polo trying to trigger stop losses (maybe Polo traders with inside information looking at the stop losses orders and trying to trigger cascade !!!). so i would expect a good bounce after such price action, but if the BTC rally is just beginning , maybe not so against FIAT (USD/EUR), but FCTBTC pair would still be headed further lower in the medium term, like other alts

Remember the ultimate chart objective from the weekly divergence is 0.0015... (and thats just a chart level, there's no magic dam there)

Link to an important discussion if you happen to be trading FCT in Margin:

www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/458bg1/psa_understanding_the_dangers_of_poloniexs_margin/

Bottom line is if you've margin-longed FCT with FCT as collateral, you really need to be careful.

that is really an idiotic thing to do, and the surest way of getting REKT sooner rather than later

I'm not afraid of other companies developing "interesting" stuff, if by that he means "competitive". You see how long it takes to develop things that are really meant to work and test them properly..so no fear of anything similar jumping in front of Factom. Although, some competition could make Factom team shift into a higher gear, just jk  Grin
